i need help

good morning

I boat my first boat but I think I made a mistake they have taken out the inboard engine and blanked it off but I am starting to feel a outboard engine will not work on it

I have attached a pic of the back of the boat

thanks in advance

 

Methinks you might go back to the seller and complain.

 

Hell of a deep vee on that boat, looks about 25 degrees. With an outboard she might float a bit high.

 

it has large fuel tank I can use to waeigh it down if I filled it

 

Use an outboard bracket. I like armstrong and stainless marine brackets.

 

does the prop have to be below the bottom of the hull

 

yes..

 

The black cat should bring luck to the project, imo.

 

Rule of thumb is put your anti-ventilation plate level with bottom of hull to start.

Bracket moves outboard back and can be raised up slightly but not too much.

What's the measure from your keel to the chine?
